Low Fat Doughnuts

    3 3/4 cups low-fat baking mix
    1/2 cup brown sugar -- packed
    3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/3 cup reduced fat margarine -- cold
    1 whole egg
    1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
    1/2 cup applesauce
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 Glaze:
    1 cup powdered sugar -- sifted
    1 tsp almond extract
    2 tablespoons skim milk

  Preheat oven to 425F. Prepare 2 baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. In a mixing
bowl, combine baking mix, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Cut in margarine with a pastry blender
until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg, yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
Stir just until moistened.

  Turn out dough onto a surface lightly sprinkled with additional baking mix. Roll to 1/2" thickness.
Cut with a floured 3" biscuit cutter. Punch a hole in the center of each doughnut with a floured
finger. Place on baking sheet and pull dough gently to make about a 1" hole, keeping doughnut
uniformly shaped. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 12 minutes
or until golden brown. Cool. Meanwhile, to prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, almond
extract, and milk. Drizzle over doughnuts.
